cared for monthly give some idea Of the breadth
and Gberaty of the ctys charity to its frendless

August $50 children in the of the different
private asylums and homes, some of them having as
high 1. 100 inmates, and others running from 100
to 500 Everyone of these children had been sent to
these institutions by police magistrate who had

their living and the most of the little waits are
located beyond the reach of the temptations of this

good shelter and clothes and with that care and

The reasons why sculpture is unfit for modern
decorative use are more or less complex. The
color of new white marble ITO which the
sculptor clings so tenaciously). it's costline ss,
(such as wood, either hard softl, and a va
riety of other considerations. might be adduced
to account for it; but the more in
superable objection is that work of any
place, or any subordinate place, in a decorative
scheme; whilst smaller works are not effective
enough to form the nucleus of any system of
decoration. We miss very much school of
sculpture like that of Donatello. What delight
ful decoration might be devised with panels in
the delicate low relief he delighted in and how
utterly unmanageable are the awkward Dusts
and scattered figures which delight, or appear to
delieht-who is it they delightl-the purchaser
or the artist or the middle man
who goes between, and gets at all
events his profit in the transaction? Then how
suggestive of decoration are the works of the
Della Rouias if only they had not vulgarized
them by smear of nasty color! If it is true
that one cannot readily find in the present day
works of sculpture which lend themselves to
decoration. still more certain is it that can
not easily fiud sculptors at once able and willing
to execute ITO order work of decorative charac-
ter. Between the willing young artist who lacks
the necessary training In decoration, ard the
high and mighty fine" artist who is under the
impression that decoration must necessarily be
subservient to sculpture, and not sculpture to
decoration, orr hope OF decorative sculpture
falls TO the ground. The one cannot do what is
wan ted, the other will not. 1t is true that this
Is not altogether the fault of the sculptor
Those who would fain have his help sometimes
assume in themselves, in their function a su-
periority which the sculptor naturally and prop
erly resents. But wherever the fault NAV lie
land it seldom lies altogether On one sidel the
fatal effect remains that decorative sculpture is
more likely to fall into the hands of tradesmen
than of artists to the reiudice alike of art and
artist. We want CO operation between sculptor
and decorator
